  • @youtoubakias It all depends on the species, diet and environment. As user 'jongeduard' has so identified, this female 'pseudophyllus hercules' is more unlikely to bite than, lets say, carnivorous Katydids of the sub-family saginae, whom have the more threatening, powerfully made mandibles made for breaching the flesh than plant-life.

    *FUN FACT*... Here in North America we have Pseudophyllinae species who produce a chirping sound by which all katydids are named. See 'True Katydid'.

  • awwwwww its sooooo cute!

  • @MrJFoxProductions Are those dangerous? do they bite or anything?

  • @MrJFoxProductions If i manage to gaught one grass hopper i want to make a video with this on tube,a big one that is.I caught very often some of them and then i release them,i love to wach them closely i am not an expert or anything just hapens to know them by the eye or from small experience that i had with them.Recently i have wached an buterfly cocoon in the wall of a building and today have see the buterfly close to the cocoon of it.The weather its cold so i guess it wont live.

  • @youtoubakias You are more correct than you realize. It is a cricket that belongs to the family tettigoniidae which are commonly known as Katydids. I've personally engrossed myself in exclusive study of insects of the order Orthoptera; I'm at the level where you could put any on of these particular insects in front of me and I can tell you on the spot whether it is a grasshopper or cricket. For me, it's not by commonality... it's by biology. I know the detailed differences between them.

  • where can i buy one?

  • katydids are slow and lethargic.....

  • Its a cricket relative insect i think!

  • hey where can i get one?

  • EAT IT
